5 BROKEN CAMERAS

Palestinian farm laborer Emad has five video cameras, and each of them tells a different part of the story of his village's resistance to Israeli oppression. Emad lives in Bil'in, just west of the city of Ramallah in the West Bank. Using the first camera, he recorded how the bulldozers came to rip the olive trees out of the ground in 2005. Here, a wall was built directly through his fellow villagers' land to separate the advancing Jewish settlements from the Palestinians.

| 63’ - 52' | China, USA | 2022 | |
Growing up as the daughter of a physician, Siyi learnt at a very young age about the danger of emotions. Her mother, Dr. Shen would always tell her in the same way she would speak to her patients, “Focus on solving the problem. How does crying help?” Driven by their stoicism, both the mother and daughter end up as overachievers. Dr. Shen was the first woman to go to college from her rural hometown and Siyi graduated from a top university in China. After the mother and daughter have lived apart - sometimes even on different continents - for more than 10 years, destiny brought them back together. They meet at the same hospital where Siyi spent her childhood and where Dr. Shen worked for her whole life. However this time, Dr. Shen is no longer the invincible doctor but a cancer patient, and Siyi raises questions she never got to ask as a kid. As the mother and daughter face old scars and an uncertain future, they build a deeper bond by completely taking off their armors in front of the camera. Their journey is a story about finding power from vulnerability, and love from our deepest fear.
